December 31st, 1969

I have an 84 year old house. A 6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bathroom colonial with clear cedar clapoard. I've lived there my whole life. I've been using the Paintshaver Pro to strip several layers of paint all at once. You're probably tired of hearing how amazing the tool is. The only problem is that after trying every other method to do the work, using the paintshaver is so satisfying that I find myself saying "Just a little more and I'll call it a day" over and over again. It isn't until the sun has started to set that I realize that I need to start sanding. Then I have the problem of how rewarding it is to just touch the wood with the sander to see this perfectly smooth, clean siding. Since cedar is one of my favourite smells, I'll sand until I can barely see. 85+ year old cedar is so amazing that I feel like I'm restoring a large piece of furniture. Thanks for making such a wonderful tool.
